How do you put a rainbow on the radio? You call on a choral SWAT team to turn the spectrum into a wall of sound (and pay tribute to a sea creature that sees way beyond anything humans can perceive).

Luckily, our friends at Q2 Music not only helped hook us up with a choir for our Colors show, they also shot a really fun behind-the-scenes video of Jad in action:

This video originally debuted on Lab Partners--Radiolab's digital membership program. To get more behind-the-scenes Radiolab videos, plus other exclusive downloads...like MP3s, hi-res digital art inspired by our episodes, and a mantis shrimp ringtone...become a Lab Partner and help support the show.

Just enjoyed "colours" again and the thought occurred to me that when any group of young kids get together they all ask each other "what's your favourite colour?" It is a major preoccupation. Its not just making conversation, I remember being 6 and it was a passionate thing that put people into sort of groups or types. I wonder why. Great work as usual guys, thanks.
